Remains identified as Bobby Ross Jr. were recovered in two separate locations in northeast Ohio in 2009. On March 6, 2009, human remains were found in the Cuyahoga River underneath the Portage Path Bridge in Akron. Additional remains later recovered on June 7, 2009, came from the 3000 block of West Market Street in Fairlawn, not far from the river location. Investigators concluded the discoveries suggest the remains may have been scattered after death and have treated the matter as a possible homicide.

Ross was eventually identified and estimated to have been between 20 to 40 years old at the time of death. The Akron Police Department and the Fairlawn Police Department have both been involved, but limited forensic evidence has made the case difficult to resolve. Authorities continue to seek tips about Ross’s final movements or any suspicious activity near the two recovery sites.

Did anyone in Akron or Fairlawn see something in those areas around March to June 2009 that could help investigators?
